I have a vacant property in North Philly that I installed an alarm system and a couple flood lights so copper thieves don't get in.Other problems with North Philly:Bad School District (well Philly in general has bad School Districts)Crime (both soft and hard)Drugs, my friend saw a man in a suit selling "pizzas" in the middle of Broad Street.

At least they aren't drug dealers, just most of their paycheck going to boat/truck notes and expenses.

I believe the current requirement is 2 years experience as a salesperson and passing a class and test to be a broker.

Mold is a scary thing and your tenant may come back to you and request testing or additional work to prove you're not putting them at risk by doing this yourself.

I currently work from home doing software testing and watch our 3 yr. old son.

Unless the seller owns the property free & clear it would usually mean being done in combination with one of the techniques in Brian's list.The only other thing I could offer is offer the seller a net price and negotiate discounts or terms with lien holders on the property.To the Original question, I think your criteria is fine but only testing a tweaking will confirm the best solution.

It will need to be tested to know for sure.

This is just a test on keywords.

Welcome Michael...BP is a helluva drug!

I bought a place with a drug dealer.
